What a BI Developer does on a data science team.

Skills and scope are agreed before delivery starts, so the first sprint is productive rather than a ramp-up month. The work runs to the same backlog, the same repositories and the same definition of done as your own team's.

BI Developer skills and technology we assign for

  • Power BI
  • DAX
  • Looker
  • LookML
  • Tableau
  • Qlik
  • SQL
  • star schema and dimensional modelling
  • row-level security
  • report performance tuning
  • embedded analytics
  • Building reporting data models and semantic layers in your BI tool.

  • Dashboard development, including performance so reports load before people give up.

  • Governance, row-level security and access control across departments.

  • Building incremental refresh so large datasets do not reprocess entirely every night.

  • Managing workspace and deployment pipelines so reports move from development to production safely.

Seniority levels we assign.

Mid to senior. Semantic modelling decisions shape every report built afterwards. Seniority is one of the inputs behind the committed monthly capacity written into your agreement.

When a BI Developer is the right assignment.

Assigned where reporting has grown organically and now needs structure. On an ongoing roadmap this role is most often assigned alongside a Data Scientist or a Data Analyst. All 4 roles in this service line can sit on the same agreement, and capacity moves between them at the monthly cycle rather than requiring a new contract. This capacity is assigned under data science rather than sold as a separate engagement.

Questions about assigning a BI Developer.

Power BI, Looker or Tableau?

Whichever you already run. Switching BI tools is rarely the fix for a reporting problem that is actually a modelling problem.

Why are our reports slow?

Usually the data model rather than the tool. That is normally the first thing we look at.
